NEW CURE FOR MILK FEVER.

AS this disease is quite common and
liable to occur at calving time With al
most any COW, the more light there can
be had on the subject the better. This
method of curing the disease is practiced
in Germany. 1t is worth remembering
and trying
Out of three COWS that were attacked
by the fever two were very seriously i'll.
In the treatment of one of those that
fell sick in the afternoon, applications OF
ice on the head, frequent injections of
cold water, four cathartic powders, and
every two hours decoction made ofone
OF. of camomile flowers, with the add.
ton of two tablespoonfuls of ether, were
employed during the night. The COW
lay on her side for hours and looked
very miserable. In the morning of the
next day the loins were covered with
blankets, and these rubbed, or rather
ironed, with very hot irons.
This process was continued for about
three hours, after which the cow stood
up and gave about 81 quarts of milk
She was restored to health the next day
One of the other COWS was also very
seriously i'll. She was treated in the
same way, with the exception that the
ironing was continued from morning till
noon, and again from 2 o'clock to {
o'clock P. NJ. At five o'clock she was
still on her side, but at o'clock she gol
up without assistance and commenced
eating straw. The third cow was not sc
dangerously affected, but still was unable
to stand. Her case was relieved after 8
few hours ironing.

poison to one hundred gallons of water,
but ne believes that half that strength
would be sufficient.
The apparatus used by Mr.. Pullen
was simply an empty kerosene barrel
with floating top, and Field force
pump with Boss" nozzle. The Lon
don purple was mixed first with q little
water and then stirred into a barrel full
OF water; the pump was attached to the
floating top, and the whole apparatus
(having been previously placed in a
wagon) was driven through the orchard
and the trees thoroughly sprayed. The
work was thus very rapidly and easily
done and at the same time with slight
expense.
Mr.. Jabez Webster had also practiced
the remedy with gratifying results, and
it is probable that large number of the
orchardists of the region viii spray their
orchards next season. We can not too
strongly urge upon them the advisabilty
OF so doing, for not only will they thus
do what they can do in no other way
raise marketable fruit-but they will
greatly lessen the number of next seas

fruit crops even freer from injury than

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

There appears to have been rather

frequent recurrence of disasters of this
kind become inevitable, and must the
destruction of human life 60 on? It is
said much of this is chargab!e to a

to satisfy the travelling man; he would
rather take the risk of plunging into a

be the cause of so much disaster to life

It is always useful. For instance
after stove has been blackened, it can

time by rubbing it with paper every
morning. Rubbing with paper is a
much nicer way of keeping the outside

bright and clean than the way of wash.
ing them in suds. Rubbing with paper
is also the best way of polishing knives,
tinware, and spoons ; they shine like
new silver. For polishing mirrors,
windows, lamp chimneys, ETC.. paper is
better than dry cloth. Preserves and
pickles keep much better if brown
paper, instead of cloth, is tied over the
jars. Canned fruit is not SO apt to
mould if piece of writing paper, cut to
fit the can, is laid directly on the fruit.
Paper is much better to put under q
carpet than straw. It is warmer, and
makes less noise when one walks over it.

1t is probable that no criminal trial
in this country ever before the late
anarchist case excited more sOlicitude
for its results. After the fair and i'm
partial trial many months ago in Chi
cago, when every proper facility of
defence was afforded the accused crimi-
nails, they having eminent counsel and
a hearing by a jury of respectable
character, the verdict of guilty met
with general approval. Now, after a
careful review of the case by the SUI
preme Court of Illinois, the finding of
the Chicago jrry is confirmed, to which
there is a response of approval through
out the whole country. The condemn
ed anarchists have had no hasty trial,
but all has been deliberate: therefore
what would be the effect on the people
of this country if, by legal bubbles, the
verdict should be handed over to still
another legal tribunalP There would
arise a distrust in the power of our
laws to bring to justice the worst of
criminals. Confidence in our govern
mental institutions would be weaken
